Where is Suits season 8 filmed?

Despite being set in New York City, Suits is actually filmed in Toronto, Canada due to the tax credits the nation offers.

Only the pilot episode of Suits was filmed in New York before the show upped stakes to Canada.

In an old interview from 2011, Gabriel Macht - who is better known as Harvey Specter - told The Hollywood Reporter: “Outsourcing I understand. But it’s better for the artist to shoot where the show takes place.

“And I think New York City is the greatest city in the world, and hope one day to shoot a season there.”

Suits series 7: As Meghan Markle and Patrick J Adams prepare to exit the legal drama we take a look at Rachel Zane and Mike Ross' love story so far.

Given that all the previous season have been shot in Toronto, it’s highly unlikely that the show is going to relocate any time soon.

The show also features yellow taxis and hot dog stands to recreate New York City.

The New York skyline has been recreated on a huge canvas which hangs outside the windows of the set for the Specter Litt offices.

While the 51-storey skyscraper called Bay Adelaide West in Toronto’s financial district stands in the Specter Litt building with establishing shots, scenes in the lobby and exteriors being filmed there.
